What is so special about the Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10 update offer?

Cubase AI and LE are so called OEM programs which are only available in a bundle with audio hardware. They have a limited feature set and cannot be purchased separately. Usually, users of Cubase AI and Cubase LE can solely upgrade to bigger Cubase versions such as Cubase Elements, Cubase Artist and Cubase Pro.

Temporarily, Steinberg is now offering an update to Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10, allowing users of older program versions to update to the latest generation of Cubase AI/Cubase LE.

What are the benefits of updating to Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10?

The benefits depend on the version from which you are updating. Of course, the differences are less significant when updating from Cubase LE 8 than if your original version is Cubase LE 4. In general, the most important reasons for updating to Cubase AI 9.5/Cubase LE 9.5 are compatibility with current operating systems and plug-ins as well as the availability of support. But there are many more minor changes that improve the overall experience and workflow. The chart below is listing the most important benefits.

Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10 can open projects of all previous Cubase AI/Cubase LE versions. Furthermore, you can also run previous Cubase AI/Cubase LE versions with a Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10 license.

However, since it was never planned to offer updates within the Cubase AI/Cubase LE product line, the development of Cubase AI/Cubase LE didn't only bring extensions of the feature set. The possible amount of audio and MIDI tracks, insert slots and group channels have been reduced in Cubase AI 6/Cubase LE 6 in order to allow for a better product differentiation. So for instance, if you open an older project with Cubase AI 10/Cubase LE 10, tracks that exceed the maximal amount of tracks will be listed and played back correctly but cannot be altered. Please see the chart below for details on the restrictions of newer Cubase AI/Cubase LE versions.
